      Earlier reports suggested they trained it on books from Bibliotik.

      What changed?

        The llama-1 paper acknowledged the use of the books dataset, libgen isn’t mentioned in any of the papers so this is new info.

          I was curious to see if Wendy’s was on the BDS list. It’s not, but I also found this post, which is quite a trip. https://old.reddit.com/r/wendys/comments/1b25k3b/boycott/
